Mbalula must get back SAPS money used for ANC business from Mkongi
26 June 2017
The DA challenges Police Minister, Fikile Mbalula, to do the right thing, and recoup every cent from his deputy, Bongani Mkongi, taken from the South African Police Service (SAPS) budget for hotel accommodation and a conference venue for ANC business.
Mkongi’s Chief of Staff, Jabu Mfusi, stayed at a hotel to attend an ANC Western Cape provincial executive committee (PEC) meeting, where he called for the PEC’s disbandment, using public money. Mkongi allegedly then used SAPS money to pay for a boardroom that held a press conference where the disbandment was called for.
This is a clear case of using public money for ANC business.
Should Mkongi be unwilling to give back what he and his office spent, Mbalula should not hesitate to have it deducted from his salary.
